Answer: Sponge Bob SquarePants. He’s one of my favourites of all time. I still like watching him to this day.

Q. What’s your favourite book?

A. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson.

Q. What is your favourite CFL road city?

A. Montreal. It’s just a totally different place. You go there, and you hear all these French conversations around you. You can’t be nosy or anything like that.

Q. You’re the CFL commissioner for the day, what’s your first priority?

A. If I’m CFL commissioner for the day, my first priority is to do something about the rules surrounding the equipment. Reebok is the sponsor, and guys should wear cleats and gloves that are the team colours. But we need to wear what we’re most comfortable in. This is a job, our livelihood. So as long as guys black out the logos if they’re wearing something other than Reebok, no one should be fined.

Q. Who did you look up to most when you were a young football player?

A. My mama. It was just the two of us, and by the grace of God, she always found a way to provide and look after her baby boy. I don’t know how she did it. She always had food on the table. We have a super close bond to this day. Her name is Chandra Arceneaux, and I’m still a mama’s boy.

Q. Do you have any pre-game habits or routine?

A. Nothing really. I like to visualize the game before it happens and I act like I’m mic’d up during the game. So you’ll hear me talking to myself and saying all this stuff. I’m really in my own zone.

A. A rotisserie chicken that I’ve picked up from Safeway or Wal-Mart. I can scrape together some sides.

Q. What is your favourite vacation spot?

A. Vancouver, the city I work in. It’s just beautiful, man.

Q. What’s your favourite saying?

A. Embrace the grind.

Q. Do you have a favourite touchdown celebration of all time?

A. The Tiger Woods’ hole-in-one that I got fined for the other day. No seriously, my favourite celebration is just throwing the ball up into the stands and connecting with the fans, because they’re the reason we’re here in the first place. I want to build my brand and make myself a household name up here in Canada.
